Let’s expand a platform for communities to engage in acts of love and caring for women living with HIV.
—
LOVE POSITIVE WOMEN is an international series of grassroots events that uses Valentine’s Day as a backdrop, creating a platform for individuals and communities to engage in public and private acts of love and caring for self-identifying women living with HIV. Working from a place of strength, LOVE POSITIVE WOMEN focuses on the idea of interconnectedness, relationship building, loving oneself and loving ones community.
Since 1988, Visual AIDS has utilized art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue, supporting HIV+ artists and preserving a legacy, because AIDS is not over. LOVE POSITIVE WOMEN is an ongoing project originally established by Visual AIDS Artist+ Member Jessica Whitbread in 2013. LOVE POSITIVE WOMEN valentine making workshops became an annual Visual AIDS project in 2014.
“Why not do something nice for the women most forgotten about?” asks Whitbread. “Taking the time to do something for someone else is really beneficial to society as a whole. Don’t underestimate the value in something as simple as sending a valentine.”
In our first year, we made and mailed approximately 100 valentines. Since then, demand for the program has increased enthusiastically. This year, 60 participants created 550 handmade valentines for HIV+ women around the world!
LOVE POSITIVE WOMEN is rapidly growing and we need your support to keep our valentine workshops thriving. Help us to grow our LOVE POSITIVE WOMEN workshops, expanding our reach to HIV+ women.
Hey everyone! I couldn’t be more excited to announce the first kickstarter I’ve worked on, Den of Assassins by Bite-Sized Gaming is now live - and we hit our initial goal an hour after going live!
Den of Assassins is the perfect book for those looking to include assassins in their games, be they players or NPCs:
- For players wanting to strike from the shadows, Den of Assassins features new assassin-themed subclasses for every core class!
- For Dungeon Masters, Den of Assassins adds a host of sinister, setting-neutral assassin NPCs for your games, including statblocks and characters to fil the role of henchmen, mini-bosses, or even as the main villain of an entire campaign!
Interested in what I contributed? I wrote the barbarian NPCs, including Ketch, the Headsman, a solitary former executioner who has put his skills to a new line of work…
What’s more: Everything I wrote can be found in the free preview on the kickstarter page!
Side-by-side comparison of art and script for the first page of “Down With Something,” the original short comic I drew for an anthology of post-apocalyptic comics. Rob Pilkington wrote this great script and there’s a ton of other excellent indie comic creators to support as well. You can check out Producing the End of the World on Kickstarter here.
Art and script for page 2! Thanks to everyone who’s supported the anthology. The Kickstarter ends in a week, so if you’re interested in seeing this story in its final form or any of the other awesome comics, you can still pledge until December 26, here.

It’s spooky season, which means it’s time for a creepy short comic! @robpilk wrote a fantastically ominous story that I got to illlustrate for Soda and Telepath’s Producing the End of the World. Click through the image source to be notified when our Kickstarter launches in November, and follow @producingtheend on Twitter for sneak peaks of our amazing lineup!
It’s happening! If you’re in NYC, c’mon out and celebrate Halloween with us! We’ve got LEDs, robots, DJs, drinks, crazy costumes, dancing, dancing, dancing and more. It’s all going down on Saturday, October 27th at Windmill Studios in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Or, round up a few friends and get 4 tickets for $100 donation. But,if you get your tickets BEFORE 9:00 a.m. on October 11th — that’s next Thursday — you help US reach our campaign goal.
As well as the video I’m sharing here, which has a handy BREAKS section in it at around 15:03. If you’re curious to know more about the comic, Malin and me, how it’s made or who you’re actually giving money to make…why not check this short film out that I made with Jack Woodhams for Wacom last year ^_^
*Stay tuned in the next day or two to see this illustration completely animated! ;D
